Education in business computer concepts is critical for workers in every discipline. Today, computer systems are used for business processes from communications to order processing to customer support and in business functions ranging from marketing to human resources to accounting and finance.

The course will explore fundamental concepts including: how business computing systems are involved in organisations; hardware and software usage within businesses; telecommunications and internet technologies, including intranets, extranets, and e-commerce; specialised business computing systems, including artificial intelligence, expert systems, and virtual reality; systems development; and security, privacy, and ethical issues. In addition, students will be exposed to a range of business computing applications and tasks including report writing, business analytical spreadsheet usage, database manipulation and report generation, and web development using HTML code.
